Harberger Taxes + Crypto: Abundance Through Scarcity by Graven Prest
Harberger Taxes + Crypto: Abundance Through Scarcity
Scarcity? Abundance? Strategically leveraging the former to create more of the latter is what crypto is all about. This talk will dive deep into the what, why, and how of Harberger taxes—an especially powerful mechanism to productively allocate scarce resources and fund more public goods.
This talk delves into how neglecting privacy in blockchain's foundation steers us towards a dystopian future. We'll explore the critical role of privacy technologies like ZKPs for secure transactions, and advancements in RPC and WebGPU that enable them, aiming for a secure, private blockchain world.

I'd like to challenge the audience with certain exercises which end in the intent to rethink our fraud systems, and our ideas of fraud inherited from tradfi. I'd like to drive home the intent of achieving game theory optimization for our web3 projects by keeping in mind these questions:
How do we make participation with the system, building within the system, more attractive than solving problems outside of that system, to the detriment of it.

Fraud Detection and Defense / Gitcoin DAO
I've worked to defend against fraud at a tech start-up, a CeFi exchange, and now at a DAO funding public goods. All of these business environments stand to benefit from one core idea which the web3 world has an opportunity to codify: There are no "Bad Actors", only bad systems.

Looking ahead, there is the potential for rollups to become the primary revenue channel for DA layers like Ethereum, Celestia, and NEAR. In the short-term, optimizations on Layer-1 blockchains for DA functionality such as proto-danksharding on Ethereum will reduce fee revenue. However, over a longer-term, the cheaper fees can unlock new blockchain-based applications across industries including gaming, social, entertainment and more. This talk will dive into the dynamics of L2 to L1 value accrual.

Web3 today is not safe. There are hacks, bugs, scams, and lots of users funds lost. This prevents mass adoption. At Linea we are pioneering an ecosystem of security-first, collaborating with some of the best security partners in the space and our close friends at MetaMask.

Forta is a real-time threat detection network, and it's getting better at detecting bad actors and exploits on chain BEFORE a loss event occurs using data science and machine learning techniques. But early detection is only half the battle. To actually prevent a loss, a DeFi protocol needs to respond quickly to a Forta alert (often w/in a few blocks). The challenge today is protocols don't have automated emergency response mechanisms - pause buttons are manually triggered by a multisig, and average time to pause a protocol over the last 4 years has been 24+ hours. Too slow to prevent an attack, even if a protocol team knows about it in advance.
There are a variety of approaches to ""prevention"" in Web 3 including more advanced automated circuit breakers, new custody models inspired by the hot-cold wallet distribution at centralized exchanges, screening for/blocking high risk transactions at the base layer, and embedding transaction reversibility features at the asset layer.
In this presentation, I'll quickly but effectively present the different approaches to exploit prevention (focused primarily on DeFi protocols and bridges), and discuss their unique pros and cons.

As a web3 founder, you will face numerous challenges and be required to take on tasks that may seem impossible. Building something new and innovative, assembling a team that has never worked together, fundraising in a volatile market, and making critical decisions under time and financial constraints can be overwhelming, akin to being lost in the wilderness without a clear sense of direction. But what if you had a map?
